Hi,

I am currently preparing the switch to Joomla 3. With Joomla 2.5 and JFBC 4.3.4 on my live site everything works fine. However with Joomla 3 and JFBC 5.0.1 the auto login does not not work - the login works when you are pressing the button. Is this a known problem?

Best Regards Michael

No, it's not a known problem. That feature has been tested thoroughly on Joomla 3 and we haven't heard of it before. Is there a page we can look at to see what's happening? We'll gladly help you diagnose any issues that may be cropping up.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

thanks for your respond - I already fixed the problem (I already loaded the Facebook JS SDK in my custom template, and there seemed to be a conflict).

I have another question: I use a custom Login Module. Therefore I have not the Logout functionality of your Login module (logout of Facebook and Joomla). I have two small questions regarding this:

1) What will happen if I have enabled Auto-Login and don't logout the user from Facebook when he clicks logout? A few releases ago he always got logged in again, but this doesnt seem to happen. Is there any sort of time window when the re-login is disabled?

2) If I try to enable the functionality in my logout button I tried to just do something like this:
<a class="" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:jfbc.login.logout_button_click('<?php echo $return; ?>')">

This does work, but the return code doesnt work as expected (there is always something like &Itemid=xyz at the end of the URL). I generate the return code like the standard Joomla Login module does. This works with the normal logout function, but not with your function. Do you create the return code in a different way?

Michael,
Your fix sounds correct, you shouldn't be loading the Facebook Javascript on your own. JFBConnect will load that and it needs to be initialized in a certain way to make sure that all the features we need are setup properly.

1) What will happen if I have enabled Auto-Login and don't logout the user from Facebook when he clicks logout? A few releases ago he always got logged in again, but this doesnt seem to happen. Is there any sort of time window when the re-login is disabled?

That should be fixed now. We put a cookie in the user's browser that disables the auto-login function. That cookie is set after the user has logged in through Facebook (either by clicking the button or through the auto-login functionality) of if they've logged out of Joomla (using any logout button). Whenever it's set, the auto-login function is disabled for as however long your Session Timer in Joomla's Global Configuration is set for.

2) I'm not sure why the Itemid=xyz would be there. We do 'process' the return URL a little to make sure that the user isn't directed to a Registered page (since they just logged out) and some things like that. We shouldn't be adding an Itemid though.
Some questions:
* Is the rest of the URL what you expect (what you set in the $return variable) but just with the extra bit on the end?
* Are you using SEF URLs? If so and you disable them, does it work better?

We can look into #2 more if you need, but not sure if it's important with the fixes we've implemented to answer #1.

Keep us posted,
Alex

No thanks - #1 is enough for me. Actually this is exactly what I want :-)

Michael,
Awesome. Glad to hear we have what you're looking for. I'm glad the days of "don't use another logout button" are well behind us. When our users complain, we listen :)

If you have any other feedback, just let us know.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:

Thanks,
Alex
